Opening in early 2013, the large-scale project features a new Clinical Pavilion, ExpressMed urgent care clinic expansion, and introduction of PediExpress children���s urgent care clinic, as well as a host of other new service offerings. With this project, UHS is poised to redefine health care in downtown San Antonio.

We also have an update on The Health Collaborative���s project to develop the 2013 Bexar County Community Health Assessment, a comprehensive health report that guides San Antonio���s efforts toward prevention and health improvement. And CPA Bennett Allison provides a review of new 2013 tax laws and imparts some advice on how to mitigate effects of higher tax rates.
